Just when the Dian Army and the 74th Army defeated the Japanese army, more than 4,000 Japanese troops with more than a wing were supported again, and these Japanese soldiers quickly built a defensive line across the river. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After the defensive line was constructed, the Japanese light and heavy machine guns and mortars all opened fire to suppress it, and the stormtrooping troops were knocked back by heavy fire, and the two sides immediately fell into a fierce battle.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the follow-up troops of the Japanese army successively crossed the river and built a defensive line along the river to start blocking!

The distance was stretched, although the exchange of fire between the two sides was fierce, but many Japanese soldiers were settled in their hearts, as long as the distance was opened, a solid defense line could be built by the barrier of the river, and the current Japanese army was eager for the Chinese army to charge!

In this way, their light and heavy machine guns can kill and injure a large number of our soldiers, and Li Zuo is also considered to have experienced a hundred battles, so naturally he will not risk the lives of soldiers to make a blind and fearless charge, and both sides will launch fierce fire!

Until now, the weakness of the Chinese army's firepower has also been revealed, and the soldiers of the Yunnan army, especially the troops of the New 10th Division, mostly use 79 rifles imported from Belgium, and the range and accuracy are not as sophisticated as the Japanese army.

Although most of the soldiers of the 184th Division are equipped with 38 big covers, but it is only half, in the face of the superior firepower of the Japanese army, they can only rely on mortars and light and heavy machine guns, after all, Hatch Chase was originally an anti-aircraft machine gun, and the range of fire is more than 3000 meters.

Most of the equipment of the 74th Army is a medium formal rifle, and the firing range is only about 200 meters, and the bullet has lost its accuracy at such a distance.

The fierce fighting on both sides was in full swing, but Wan Baobang at the division headquarters was frowning, the Japanese army's reserve ammunition was almost exhausted after a day of fierce fighting, and the remaining ammunition was only a few hundred rounds, and its own artillery shells were too late to replenish and almost exhausted, without the support of artillery, forcibly crossing the river was tantamount to risking the lives of their own soldiers to do fearless consumption.

Similarly, the firepower of the 74th Army has been almost consumed, after all, this Nanchang counteroffensive campaign was launched in a hurry, because their ammunition reserves are not much, and China's chaotic logistics have not had time to replenish, so they launched such a high-intensity large-scale operation, which is doomed to run out of ammunition and cannot fight for a long time.

Therefore, after the Japanese army built a defensive line on the other side of the river, the artillery fire of the Yunnan army and the artillery fire of the 74th Army almost stopped tacitly.

Even the machine-gun fire gradually thinned out, because they had to prepare for the worst, and the keys ran out of bullets, and the Japanese counterattack could only fight with bayonets.

"Commander Lu, our army is running out of ammunition and cannot launch a sustained attack, when will the ammunition come up"? Wan Baobang called Lu Han and said.

Lu Han frowned and said: "There is not much follow-up ammunition, the Japanese planes are wreaking havoc on our army's transportation lines, you can save ammunition and prevent the Japanese counterattack, and you can't attack without authorization"!

"But we are 20 kilometers ahead to the Nanxun Railway"! Wan Bao Bang urgent.

"Not to mention 20 kilometers, even the first three kilometers you can't cross, this counteroffensive operation is very likely... If you fail again, what should you do if you cross the river without permission and are blocked by the Japanese army"? Luján said.

"What? How so"?

"We are not well prepared, not only your ammunition is tight, but all the Chinese army ammunition is now tight, and the attack has begun to be weak"! Luján explained.

"So what now? If we delay, we won't be able to complete the task assigned by the Commander's Department!"

"What if it's done? Even if you advance to the Nanxun Railway, it is useless, the Japanese planes and heavy artillery are bombing frantically day and day, the troops transporting ammunition have suffered heavy losses, and the troops who are mainly attacking Nanchang have no ammunition at all, you must remember not to cross the river without authorization, first maintain a state of confrontation, if the follow-up ammunition can come up, I will send someone to send it up immediately"! Luján said.

Wan Baobang sighed helplessly and said, "Yes"!

Hanging up the phone, Wan Baobang ordered: "Send electricity to Lu Hai, let them reconnoiter in the surrounding area, and don't attack without authorization"!

"Yes"!

"Send electricity to the front line, suspend firing, collect the ammunition left by the Japanese army, rush to repair the fortifications on the original defense line of the Japanese army, and form a defense"!

"Yes"!

Wan Baobang's situation was also shown in the 74th Army, and when there was a serious shortage of ammunition, they naturally would not attack, and they also took a defensive position one after another.

Both armies began to dig trenches on the other side of the river, dug bomb shelters and built bunkers to prepare for long-term resistance, and the same Japanese troops suffered heavy casualties and could not attack, and both sides began to rush to repair fortifications and transport the wounded.

The battlefield fell silent, the artillery fire that had been bombarded for a day stopped, and the field suddenly fell silent.

However, the soldiers present were puzzled, the victory was in front of them, as long as they were given another fierce artillery attack, they could tear a hole from the front, completely crush the 106th Division in front of them, and arrive at the Nanxun Railway to complete the task assigned by the headquarters, but because of the ammunition, they stopped there.

In the command headquarters of the Japanese army, the commander of the 106th Division finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the immediate crisis was finally resolved, otherwise it was really possible to not be able to stand the river defense.

"Division commander, the wounded have been sent down, and the ammunition is also being replenished, do you want to notify the air force units to abandon air strikes"?

"Nope! Tell them to bring plenty of ammunition. At six o'clock in the morning, we bombarded with all our might according to the instructions of our artillery fire"!

"Hurry up and bury the pot to cook, replenish the strength of the soldiers, and we will take back the lost position"!

"Yes"!

At this time, on the position across the river, the defense line has gradually taken shape, and the soldiers are digging cat ear holes.

Similarly, the positions of the 74th Army were just as busy, and they had to quickly build a defensive line to prevent the Japanese from counterattacking, and wait for ammunition to be replenished before counterattacking.

At the same time, the 19th Division, the 79th Division, the 5th Reserve Division, and the 10th Reserve Division of the 32nd Group Army, which were responsible for the main attack, crossed the Fuhe River and officially launched an attack on Nanchang.

The two armies fought fiercely on the outskirts of Nanchang, and every village and stronghold was fiercely contested.

However, all the troops were unable to launch an all-out attack due to the lack of ammunition, and they could not reach the designated position and could not support them!

In the same way, our army's small air force also began to participate in the war, supporting the operations of the 32nd Group Army, and our country's small air force launched a fierce battle against the Japanese army, which was completely superior in the sky!

At four o'clock in the morning, the battlefield had completely quieted, and the soldiers were in the trenches to hurry up and repair, and Lu Hai had already touched the other side of the river, but the current situation was no longer able to carry out action, and Lu Hai simply made up a short repair on a mountain of the Japanese army.

"Xiaohai, why don't we sneak into the Japanese barracks and get their ammunition depots"? Haizhiji said.

"Looking for death? Our army stopped fighting, and the attention of the Japanese army could no longer be attracted, and we are fighting now to kill ourselves, so now we will hide behind and use them as eyes"! Lu Hai said.

"Have you eaten it all"?

"I'm done"!

"Use the squad as a combat ammunition, distribute reconnaissance in the surrounding mountains and forests, closely monitor the movements of the Japanese army, and report quickly once the Japanese army is discovered!"

"Yes"!

Everyone scattered around to reconnoiter according to the squad, and Lu Hai immediately picked up the binoculars and looked into the darkness.

The battlefield is rarely quiet, but they have fought with the Japanese army many times and they know in their hearts that the Japanese army will definitely not be willing to lose, and now the troops are weak in attack, and the Japanese army will never give up, and I am afraid that there will be big moves next.

What followed was a long and boring wait, until half past five in the morning, when the scattered ministries sent their communications corps back to report.

"Battalion commander! In the southeast, a Japanese convoy was found, with more than twenty military vehicles, which were slow to move, and should have been full of weapons and ammunition"!

"Battalion commander, there are Japanese reinforcements to the west, and there is a brigade of troops"!

Lu Hai frowned and said: "Sure enough, the Japanese army still has to make a big move, and all of them will approach to reconnoitre, and we must find out their real combat intentions!"

"Yes"!

Immediately, all the soldiers approached in the direction of the Japanese base camp and began to approach to reconnoitre.

On the Japanese defense line behind, all the Japanese soldiers were ready, and a mountain artillery position had been built on a hillside across the river, and a 92-infantry artillery position had been deployed on the trench directly opposite.

Because the base of the Japanese 92 rifle guns was low, there was no difference between the dismantled tripod and a heavy machine gun, and these rifles were deployed in the forward trenches.

"Battalion commander! Company Commander Zhao They found a Japanese heavy artillery position, and they were carrying shells towards the position"!

"Immediately send a report to the division commander, saying that within a few hours or an hour, the Japanese army will launch a counterattack, so that they can prepare and take shelter in the hole"!

"Yes"!

"Inform them that once the Japanese are firing, concentrate their fire on the front line of the Japanese army, and there are infantry artillery positions on it"!

"Yes"!

After receiving Lu Hai's telegram, Wan Baobang hurriedly ordered: "Notify the front line, leave camouflage, and the soldiers will go into the cave to hide"!

"Yes"!

After Wan Baobang finished speaking, he picked up the phone and said: "Commander Wang, the Japanese army is about to make a big move, and it is very likely to launch a counteroffensive, please prepare early!" ”

Wang Yaowu frowned, the hour he got was that the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties and was repairing and replenishing, and it looked like this through the telescope, why did Wan Baobang say that the Japanese army had made a big move?

However, Wang Yaowu is the commander of an army after all, not to mention that they have fought since the Battle of Songhu to now it can be said that it is a general battle, and the actions of the Japanese army are indeed suspicious, so he immediately said: "Is this news reliable?"

"A small group of troops of our army has already penetrated the past, and they have personally reported it, so it can't be fake"!

"Okay, I'll notify the troops to prepare for protection"!

Wan Baobang put down the phone and said: "The middle finger is our army's heavy artillery unit, aiming at the forward positions of the Japanese army, and once the Japanese army fires and suppresses it with all its might"!

On the forward position, many soldiers put a lot of rainproof hats and coats on the trenches and went into the caves to take refuge, and the previous heavy machine gun positions were all dismantled and transferred.

As soon as this was done, the Japanese artillery had already begun to load, and at the same time, the roar of engines sounded in the sky, and more than two dozen fighters flew again. (To be continued.) )
